Outlander & Highland Castles Tour (Inverness)

Apr–Oct8 HoursDeparts 08:451–7 GuestsEasy60 Miles£620.00

Step into the world of Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall on an immersive journey through the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Our private Outlander tours from Inverness take you beyond the screen to discover the real-life history and breathtaking landscapes that inspired the series. You will explore iconic filming locations and ancient clan seats at your own pace, enjoying a personalised experience that brings the Jacobite era to life.

The Jacobite Struggle at Culloden Battlefield

A pivotal location for any Outlander enthusiast, Culloden Battlefield offers a moving look into the history of the 1745 Rising. You can pay your respects at the clan stones and explore the accredited museum, which houses genuine weapons and artefacts from the era. The visitor centre also features a 360-degree battle immersion theatre, providing a powerful perspective on the conflict that changed the Highlands forever. Our guides can also assist if you wish to learn more about your own family ancestry and potential links to the battlefield.

Choose Your Castle: Cawdor or Leod

This bespoke tour offers the unique opportunity to choose between two of the most magnificent strongholds in the north.

  • Castle Leod: As the seat of Clan Mackenzie, this historic tower house is widely recognised as the inspiration for “Castle Leoch” in the Outlander series. It provides an authentic glimpse into the ancestral home of the Mackenzies.

  • Cawdor Castle: Famous for its literary connection to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, this stunning castle features exquisite gardens and centuries of Highland history.

Explore Fort George and Urquhart Castle

Our journey continues to Fort George, a formidable military stronghold built in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden. As one of the most impressive fortifications in Europe, it served as a secure base for the army of King George II.

We also visit the majestic ruins of Urquhart Castle, perched on the banks of Loch Ness. Here, you can marvel at the stunning views and uncover the secrets of a fortress that witnessed some of the most dramatic chapters in Scottish history.

The Old Fox: Wardlaw Mausoleum

No Outlander pilgrimage is complete without a visit to the Wardlaw Mausoleum. This is the final resting place of the notorious Jacobite, Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, also known as “The Old Fox.” Discover the secrets of Jamie Fraser’s grandfather and the real history behind one of the show’s most intriguing characters.

Luxury Travel in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class

You will experience the Highlands in total comfort and sophistication. Our private excursions are conducted in a luxury Mercedes-Benz V-Class, featuring leather seating, climate control, and panoramic windows. This ensures you can relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery as we guide you through the heart of Outlander country.
